Hi, you're welcome Joe! Dawn, I didn't even KNOW that cigarettes contained formadehyde??? Gees I must be stupid. I know that they contain many chemicals and metals, but no wonder I got so ill. For starters, the doctor said I react very badly to formaldehyde (though I dont normally smoke and didn't have a binge when he saw me, so he must have detected it from something else). but the added exposure from the binge smoke I had? Well that must have really done it.

I have to wonder if the plastics in my mouth are actually leaking (as Dr Hesham suggested on one side), this may explain not only the bacteria, but formaldehyde that two seperate doctors deteced ( mean come on, they dont even work together I never mentioned it either).

So yeah there seems to be many pieces to this jigsaw and I hate it. I actually prefrred just having mercury, rather than this. Mercury was horrible, but my body still excreted things as painful as it was. Now it does stuff all.

thanks a lot Elvis! I actually have hte cavitat scan done! And get this, it showed no problems at all in my lower jaws, only the top. But the EAV testin gshowed gangrene in the bottom.

So this just gets worse! sorry to moan on to you all, just really fed up. Trying to find out what I can do. I think I will get hte plastics out elvis, that is my first step and also mention the possible leaky filling to the dentist as well whilse i'm at it. Good one for getting cerec, seems to be a pretty good bet (at least so far from what I hear). I hope to get it too, if I ever can.

I'd warn people of one main plastic (composite) called filtek supreme. I dont know if its coincidence, but that was also put in the sametime as I got much worse. Though had wisdom tooth out also, so who knows? May not have been that, but it turned out bad on my serum test and I heard from someone else that got it and got sick as well.

anyway, one step at a time (if even that, right now I'm standing still). That is ridiculous Elvis, for that dentist to charge you that much for a freaking answer to a simple question. I have emailed some that do that and won't answer a thing. They say "you must come in for consultation" and I'm thinking "Why would I do that? I'm asking what the names are of the materials you use for replacing amalgam" boy do they HATE questions. Or something simple and they wont tell you. Easy to get cynical.

cheers and thanx again.
